Syn: To
Avenge,
Revenge.
Usage: To avenge is to inflict punishment upon evil doers in
behalf of ourselves, or others for whom we act; as, to
avenge one's wrongs; to avenge the injuries of the
suffering and innocent. It is to inflict pain for the
sake of vindication, or retributive justice. To
revenge is to inflict pain or injury for the
indulgence of resentful and malicious feelings. The
former may at times be a duty; the latter is one of
the worst exhibitions of human character.
[1913 Webster]
I avenge myself upon another, or I avenge
another, or I avenge a wrong. I revenge only
myself, and that upon another. --C. J. Smith.
